This ain't yo mama's playground.  This super modernized playground has something for everyone, and is even handicap accessible!

Barry Playground is easily reachable by 93 N but you're probably not going there unless you've stumbled around the streets medford after a trip to Dana's Apt (http://www.yelp.com/bi...) in the middle of the night.

Swings, slides, a cool two-arm digging crane, a zip wire, general store window and of course, the obligatory tic tac toe board, Barry's playground will keep you entertained for hours. My only criticism is that the wood chip mulch is too hard and all of the hand holds and sliding poles and other things to cling to with your hands are made out of pure steal and on a hot summer day your child may receive some 2nd degree burning.  for this reason i have limited myself to patronizing barry's playground to midnight and later.

This place is a blast and the location (right next to Josh and Dana's apartment, and Pinky's!) is primo.  However, if you're an adult, and/or over 4 feet tall, you should probably wear some knee pads as you could suffer permanent injury on the big metal zip-line apparatus.  You'll also want to bring a change of pants if you attend after dusk, as the dew on the slides is certain to create a few complications.

One of the best things about my apartment is that it is located two blocks away from my apartment. Read Erin's review below for the full affect, but there is nothing more fun than doing bad improv scenes with my roommate at the General Store set up. I've had some amazing memories here. Come play with us! Just drink plenty of wine beforehand, but not too much or you might get dizzy on the swings.
